Problems with Foxy proxy

Hello
I downloaded an add on in Firefox called foxyproxy. I have to hold my hands up and admit I did not know what I was doing. I had malware probs for months and this was something I tried to get my IE to work

to cut a long story short, malware probs are sorted thans to Chaslang in Malware.
I still have problems with my IE settings.

I have now un- installed the add on in Firefox but I think its written some code for IE that automatically makes it use the Proxy server (tools, internet options, connections, LAN settings; (the box for Proxy server is ticked) even if I manually untick it, upon restart of IE, it becomes ticked again.

My IE also says at the bottom that the Internet Protected mode: On

How do I change my IE settings back to normal please?:-o

 

Hi, thanks, however,

Nothing left in the Add Remove programs
I have disabled it in firefox
then uninstalled in firefox (as orig installed in firefox)

I followed your advice to completely reset Internet Explorer but still same result on rebooting the pc.

I still have no default access to IE unless I manually untick settings for proxy server. Upon reboot of machine the same settings arise again.

 

Hi - Thank you for your response.

Yes I was still having problems with IE before installing the proxy

I ve tried IE with no add ons, same result.

I have tried to do a screenshot in word and upload it but it is 127kb and your foum doesnot except this size. So here they are :

Hi

Thanks for the reply- I have Vista basic home. Not sure which version of IE but at least 7. How do I check this?

I have loaded Spybot as an installed program but I dont think its running unless I run as administrator specifically. I am not sure how to disable it, the only prompt in CCleaner is to delete completely or when I right click it in All programs too.

Check this Registry key for me ProxyEnable its found in this location HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings and whats its value is it 1 or 0?

I ve checked the proxyenable key and its set to 1.

Hope this helps

Thanks

 

hi, thanks,
I have IE8 Release Candidate version
I ve just uninstalled Spybot, no effect.

so now going to change the Reg key, will keep you posted.

 

Ok. Here's the thing.

I went in and manually changed the registry key for EnableProxy to 0. Checked IE , Tools, Internet Options, Connections, Lan settings, and the tick (that had been there when it should not have been there, was not there. Great.)

I rebooted the computer.

Guess what, the tick has appeared again

I rechecked the Reg Key and its now changed back again to 1.

There are some other keys in the Internet Settings called:

Migrate Proxy
Proxy Override
Proxy Server

These keys have "ab" labelled red on the tab.

and my guess is that these commands are deliberately resetting the proxy server.

I tried a screen shot of the Reg Keys but its 168 kb, too big for your site. Is there any way around this ?
